The Clash/London, UK 1980

New discovery of the famous Kinney, again! The memory of the super masterpiece “LYCEUM 1978″ is still fresh, but another original cassette has appeared. What was recorded in the shock master was “London performance on June 17, 1980”. This is the best audience recording. Speaking of “Kinney”, the masterpieces performed in Japan are memorable, but the staff also recorded overseas. Especially during the tumultuous period from the end of the 1970s to the 1980s, he traveled to the UK and recorded the cutting-edge scene at the time. We unearthed the original cassette of Kinney’s recordings during his trip to England. It has been made into a CD with a quality that far exceeds previous releases. THE POLICE’s “HAMMERSMITH PALAIS 1979”, which will be released simultaneously this week, IRON MAIDEN’s “RAINBOW 1980”, and of course THE CLASH’s “LYCEUM 1978”. This work is the latest bullet. “LYCEUM 1978” was a live show immediately after the release of “GIVE ‘EM ENOUGH ROPE”, but this work is the next one. This is a historical item that allows you to experience the stage of the famous album “LONDON CALLING” era with the best sound. First of all, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and check the position of the show. ●1979《“LONDON CALLING” released on December 14th》・December 25th-27th: UK #1 (3 performances)・1980・January 5th-February 23rd: UK #2 (37 performances) )・March 1-10/April 27: North America (10 performances)・May 12-June 3: Europe (19 performances)・June 9-18: UK #3 (7 Performance) ←★Coco★・June 21st: Reykjavik performance [“SANDINISTA!” released on December 12th] This is THE CLASH from “LONDON CALLING” to “SANDINISTA!”. Details such as the number of performances are not exact as there are slight differences depending on the material, but you can understand the general flow. This work was the 6th concert of “UK #3” at the end of such a tour. This work, which records such a show, is a sample of Kinney’s sound, which is said to be “magic.” In fact, this recording itself is a famous recording known from the analog era, but this work is its original cassette. It is clear from the long intro and cheers waiting for the encore, but that is only evidence of the origin. The important sound is already the best! Kinney is the type that pursues the clarity of the audience rather than the closeness of a sound board, and this work is a perfect example of that. The core that penetrates straight through the clear air is powerful and detailed down to the smallest detail. Still, the slight hall sound is wonderfully realistic, but does not cloud or muddy the details. Moreover, the freshness is ultimate because it is an original cassette. It is natural that there is no dubbing deterioration, but the sharpness of the edges and the stability of the sound are also wonderful because it does not go through an analog board. You can listen to THE CLASH at the best time in the best place of the venue, with the sound as it was on the spot…that is the true nature of this work. And that show is overwhelming. The full version of “LYCEUM 1978″ was about 70 minutes long and fit on one CD, but this work is over 100 minutes long and has a total of 31 songs. Moreover, a large number of numbers from the famous album “LONDON CALLING” are also played. Let’s organize the contents here. ●THE CLASH (11 songs)・Clash City Rockers/(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais/I Fought the Law/Jail Guitar Doors/Police and Thieves/I’m So Bored With the USA/Complete Control/London’s Burning/Janie Jones /What’s My Name/Garageland ●GIVE ‘EM ENOUGH ROPE (5 songs)・Safe European Home/Julie’s Been Working for the Drug Squad/Stay Free/English Civil War/Tommy Gun ●LONDON CALLING (10 songs)・Brand New Cadillac/ Jimmy Jazz／Revolution Rock／The Guns of Brixton／Train in Vain／London Calling／Spanish Bombs／Koka Kola／Wrong Emboyo／Clampdown ●Others (5 songs)・Capital Radio「CAPITAL RADIO」／Somebody Got Murdered「SANDINISTA!」・Single songs: Armagideon Time/Rockers Galore… UK Tour/Bankrobber…and so on. Even though I organized it, this volume. Official live albums such as “FROM HERE TO ETERNITY” and “LIVE AT SHEA STADIUM” have also been discovered, but there are a lot of songs that you can’t listen to even if you put the two songs together. From classics like “Police and Thieves,” “Safe European Home,” and “Brand New Cadillac,” to “Julie’s Been Working for the Drug Squad” and “Revolution Rock.” Is “Rockers Galore… UK Tour” particularly valuable? A rare song that was only played in the 1980 edition on this tour. In fact, of the 31 songs in this work, about half, 15, are numbers that cannot be heard in the two official live performances. Of course, the performance goes without saying. With the success of “LONDON CALLING,” even the notoriously harsh British media became allies, and the venue was filled with excitement, which fed back to the stage. Moreover, it is a famous venue in London, and it is the ultimate live album with not only quantity but also quality. A true cultural heritage. Great era, great venue, great show, great sound. This is a treasured album of London punk that could only be preserved because it was Kinney’s original cassette. This is a masterpiece of music recording that surpasses even the existence of the band THE CLASH and symbolizes a culture and an era.
